Re: wireless 3945 status?
Hi all, This would really interest me as well. I was forced to put linux on the laptop for the time being so that I could use the wireless. Even with that I had a small struggle. Is this Microsoft doing a old boys network with the hardware vendors, or is it just that the hardware vendors are too lazy to support open source? On another machine I had to fight with the bloody ATI video card. Does not seem fair, I am sure that there are more and more Freebsd and linux desktop users out there, why can't the vendors just give us a choice. cheers G ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
intel wireless 3945 driver situation :(
Hi All, My boss gave me a new laptop but it has the 3945 intel wireless card. I know that this was not supported and there is only one experimental driver out there. Any news on whether or not this thing will be supported. Anybody get it to work? thanks G ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi all, Got hold of an old IBM X21 Thinkpad. Anyone out there have any recommendations for a good kernel config or whatever to squeeze the most of this little fellow?

Skype freeze
Hi all, I installed the latest port of skype on my FreeBSD 6.0 laptop using linux_base 8. The program comes up without any problems until I type in my user info and press connect. then the whole OS freezes. The only thing left for me to do is to press the power button. I have never had a total freeze up on a FreeBSD or Linux machine (millions on windows) so this is a first :( I looked in var/log/messages but nothing was recorded. How can I debug this? thanks alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
camcorder
In Relation to Ergard's question about video cameras. I have a Samsung camcorder that came with its own windoze software to transfer video. I would like to do this in freebsd, anyone have any good links for instructions. I did read about trandering with DV but, and correct me if I am wrong, it seems that you need to have a firewire connection for this. I have only USB. any help would be appreciated. cheers Oburk ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problem with more than one connection Win VPN of client through FreeBSD 4.6 + IPNAT + IPF to W2k VPN server
Hi All! Can you help in the below problem: We have 4.6 FreeBSD box with IPF and IPNAT. FreeBSD has two Ethernet cards (with real IP and with IP from internal private network). We have some amount of Win98/W2K workstations in our office with IP from internal private network. We need VPN connection from above workstations to external W2K VPN server with real IP through IPNAT of FreeBSD box. But we can make only one VPN connection. The Win workstation shows message that VPN server doesn't answer if we try creating second VPN (I think that the IPNAT can't pass more than one PPTP, maybe I am wrong). However maybe W2K server doesn't answer on two or more MASQ VPN requests from the same server. Can you explain above problem? Pls send copy of answer directly to me : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you in advance With best regards Gennady To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: MySQL or Postgresql on FreeBSD, have I just started a holy war?
Hello, I'm a PostgreSQL person so take all my comments with that in mind. On Wed, 2 Oct 2002 03:06:37 -0700 Mailing Lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I've just been getting ready to start serious MySQL development on a Dual Processor FreeBSD box and I stumbled across the following blog entry on the web today which has me thinking: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000203.html#000203 The coles notes version is that the author, who seems to have some chops in both MySQL and FreeBSD (looks like he's a sysadmin at Yahoo, hi if you're out there Jeremy), has come across some issues with threading and smp support while using MySQL FreeBSD. Now, of course, he doesn't mention is the machines where these issues come up are super high traffic or not, so this may be all moot if you're not running say, Yahoo! For the kind of traffic your talking about, either system (MySQL or PostgreSQL) would work just fine. I'm still a babe in the woods when it comes to MySQL, but I'm redeveloping several databases that I did some time ago in a proprietary database solution (4D) and I'll be damned if I'm going to redo these things again any time soon, so I'd like to know that I've made the right choice of DB Platform. I've been really happy with 4D overall, but need to have more connectivity options, hence the move. Everything being about equal at this point for you, look at the available features. Do you use subselects, procedures, triggers, FK or transactions? Yes, I know that the latest development versions of MySQL support FK and transactions, but in this case you loose hot backups (ie when the server is up) unless your willing to pay for the util. There must be a ton of people running MySQL on FreeBSD, so my first question is, are the issues raised here ones likely to occur on a low to medium volume system? I'm doing about 100,000 queries a day on our current db server from a variety of websites and would expect this volume to double or triple in the next year. 100,000 to 400,000 trans a day should be nothing to any decent database. This is only about 1 to 4 transactions a second. I've handled this kind of load using DBM files with perl. My FreeBSD Box is currently DP PIII 500's, but I'll be upgrading it to Ghz PIII's before deployment with a gig of RAM, more if needed. My current DB server is actually an iMac, it's a long story, with a 400Mhz G3 and 512 mb RAM running OS X 10.2 and keeping up quite nicely, so I don't imagine the hardware itself will be a limiting factor. My second question is, if it looks like this will potentially be an issue, how does Postgresql perform on FreeBSD. I could use it just as easily as MySQL and, from what I've heard, it's a little beefier in some aspects. With regards to threading issues, am I likely to be happier with Postgresql in the long term? PostgreSQL is non-threaded so that is a moot point. PostgreSQL works quite well on FreeBSD under heavy load. I've got a system (1,000,000+ rows) that takes 3 to 10 connections a second without a sweat running on a PIII 800 1000MB SCSI system. Mind you, this is mostly insert transactions. Our current DB server runs for _MONTHS_ at a time without me even having to look at it, so reliability is the key factor in my decision process. Moving away from FreeBSD is not an option I'd like to consider at the moment, as I'm quite happy with it so far, so I'd like to pick the db that likes FreeBSD the best. I've got automatic monitoring on my high load system to watch my diskspace and with some of my scripts to delete old data (it monitors a set of web sites in real time), I forget it's there until the next time someone requests a new feature. Sorry if I just started a holy war, I promise not to ask about Postfix v Qmail! :-) Tom Wiebe To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message Hopefully it helps.
